25. He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to The LORD, the God of Israel's word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.

26. For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for all, slave and free, and there was no helper for Israel.

27. The LORD didn't say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of JEROBOAM the son of Joash.

28. Now the rest of the acts of JEROBOAM, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
